Rain

Who would water our flowers?  
Who would water our grain?  
Who would water our fields and trees  
If God didn't send the rain.  

We wouldn't have no flowers  
We wouldn’t have no grain  
We wouldn't have no field or trees  
If God didn't send the rain.  

The rain is raining all around  
It falls on field and trees  
It rains on the umbrellas here  
And on the ships at sea  

We wouldn't need no umbrellas  
We wouldn't have no trees  
We wouldn't have no fields or grain  
And ships wouldn't sail the seas.  

Thank you Lord for sunshine; Thank you Lord for sunshine  
Thank you Lord for grain; Thank you Lord for fields and trees;  
Thank you Lord for rain!
